CYJAX Appoints Jonathan Bennett as Chief Executive Officer

CYJAX has appointed Jonathan Bennett as Chief Executive Officer to lead the company’s next phase of growth and expansion in the cybersecurity market. 

Jonathan brings over 20 years of leadership experience, with deep expertise in executing go-to-market strategies and scaling organisations. He has held senior leadership roles at Mastercard, DOCOMO Digital, and Travelex as well as fast growth fintech businesses delivering innovation, strategic growth, and high-performing teams.  

Jonathan’s move into cybersecurity showcases his strategic foresight by joining an industry that has such enormous potential. Recognising the urgent need to protect customers from increasingly sophisticated threats, he is committed to strengthening defences where they matter most and in line with a changing regulatory landscape. With cyber threats growing in scale and complexity, threat intelligence has never been more critical.  

On his appointment, Jonathan said: “What drew me to CYJAX was the tangible value it delivers to its incredible customer base, its cutting-edge tech, and the exceptional team. Coming from the payments industry, where security is everything, I’ve seen firsthand how rapidly cyber threats can evolve, putting businesses at constant risk and this is only getting worse. Organisations need real-time intelligence to stay ahead, especially in sectors handling sensitive transactions and this is now a mandatory requirement from a lot of regulators. CYJAX has a proven track record in delivering its solution to multiple sectors, including card fraud detection for leading banks which is very close to my heart. The potential here is massive, and I’m thrilled to lead CYJAX’s growth in an ever-evolving threat landscape.”  

Jonathan’s focus will be on establishing a scalable and repeatable business model, expanding CYJAX’s SaaS capabilities, and increasing market visibility. With cybersecurity set to grow at a 14.3% CAGR, CYJAX is primed to seize this momentum, delivering cutting-edge solutions that drive real impact for its industry-leading customers. 

Damian Mulcock, Chairman of CYJAX, said, “The board have always believed in CYJAX’s immense potential and the opportunities within this market. As part of its transition from a founder led business, the board recently undertook a rigorous search for a new CEO, with the commercial acumen and strategic vision to drive CYJAX to its next stage. 

Jonathan stood out as the ideal leader and the board has full confidence that under Jonathan’s leadership, CYJAX will continue to grow and further establish itself as a key player in the market. It’s an exciting time for CYJAX.” 

Jonathan added: “Since joining, I’ve had the privilege of working with an elite team of cybersecurity, law enforcement, and policing experts. We’ve sharpened our commercial strategy, bolstering marketing, sales, and product leadership, to elevate CYJAX’s presence on the global stage.” 

With Jonathan at the helm, CYJAX is poised to accelerate its growth and solidify its reputation as a leader in cybersecurity intelligence.
